What's the difference between a MALT and a SHAKE?
Answers:
Actually, the malted milk shake dates from the 1950's and it is quite a tasty treat. In those days, there really were places called Malt Shops. They served Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Fries, Milk Shakes, and Malted Milk Shakes! Recently, I had a craving for one and found out it is all but impossible to find malt in the stores. The closest think I could find was Chocolate Malted milk mix. (not the same thing!) ( A Malt usually requires one or two teaspoons! ) Malt powder is a light beige colored powder made from extracts of malted barley, and is actually a little bitter in taste if eaten straight out of the can. (I did!) When mixed into a milk shake, it takes on a whole new and wonderful flavor
